Amniotic fluid is a clear liquid that appears after conception and plays an important role in the development of the fetus. Lack of amniotic fluid (oligohydramnios) adversely affects the fetus and can cause many dangerous complications.
Amniotic fluid deficiency can occur at any time, but is most common in the last three months of pregnancy. At that time, pregnant women need to strictly follow treatment instructions and follow-up appointments according to the obstetrician’s appointment. Using some of the following drinks also helps improve the condition.
Water is the main source of water for pregnant women. On average, each pregnant mother needs to drink 2.5-3 liters of filtered water per day; You should drink water regularly, don’t wait until you’re thirsty to drink, divide it into several times, a little each time. Supplementing enough water will improve amniotic fluid deficiency, support metabolism, and bring many health benefits to mother and child.
Non-sugar fresh milk Replenishes water to the body, helping to increase the amount of amniotic fluid. The amount of sugar in milk has been removed, so pregnant women do not suddenly increase blood sugar, limiting the risk of excessive weight gain. Unsweetened fresh milk also provides abundant protein, calcium, and vitamin D, meeting the development of the fetus and supporting the mother to improve her health. However, how much unsweetened fresh milk each pregnant mother can drink per day depends on the stage of pregnancy, health status and nutritional needs. Pregnant women should consult their obstetrician before adding fresh milk to their daily diet.
Fruit and vegetable juices such as watermelon, apple, tomato, cucumber, and celery help increase flavor and provide more water for pregnant women. This drink also adds vitamins, minerals and soluble fiber, enhances resistance and helps reduce stress. However, pregnant mothers should limit or not add sugar to fruit and vegetable juices to reduce blood sugar levels. You should consult your obstetrician about the type of fruit or vegetable that is suitable for the health status and nutritional needs of mother and child.
To improve oligohydramnios, pregnant women should not use drinks that can dehydrate the body such as coffee, corn silk juice, alcohol, soda, soft drinks, and energy drinks. Pregnant women should exercise moderately according to the doctor’s instructions, limit vigorous exercise, and re-examine according to the doctor’s appointment or when abnormal signs are detected.
